The Moment Of Truth Redux

Still Horrible.  Still Watching.
I’ve posted about this abomination of a broadcast before, but I’m watching it as I post this, and can’t believe what I’m seeing.  I also can’t believe I’m watching it.  I further can’t believe I’m admitting watching it. It’s the kind of show that you want to sit in judgment of; talk [...]

Libertarian Party For “Official Language” In United States?

LP Criticizes Biden for Wrong Reason
Well, for one wrong reaon at least.  I got an email from the Libertarian Party today that provided a bullet point list of reasons to be critical of Joe Biden.  This in addition to the obvious fact that he’s a career politician, which is a major strike against as far [...]

I Got Nothin’

OK - I don’t have NOTHING.  I just cant really get any posts done right now… Like, The Two Coreys was sufficiently laughable for the last two weeks, but I don’t think I really want to go back to that pool again.  At least not right now.  And I have these photos of some card [...]

Michael Phelps Wins Number Six. Clearly A Soviet Plot.

The Photos Don’t Lie: Phelps Is A Cold War Cyborg.
Michael Phelps won his sixth gold medal last night, and did it in world record time.  Now isn’t this just a LITTLE suspicious?  NBC did a video breakdown of his body last night, demonstrating that he has the legs of a 6′ man, but the torso [...]

I Like To Be Liked

And Want You To Want Me
The sub-header is purely a cheap trick to stick Cheap Trick in your head. But this is cool: even though I’ve been posting a bit slowly of late (I’ve been helping my lovely wife Joanna out with some stuff which I’ll leave her to tell you about if she wishes,) [...]

Still More Church Ads

What’s Jesus’ SPF, Anyway?
At the risk of appearing obsessed, I’m posting yet two more advertisements from the church down the block. I’ve mentioned two others here and here, but these two are all kinds of wacky.
Ad The First:
Warning: Exposure to the son may prevent burning.
Very punny. But completely nonsensical. I mean, why is this [...]

September 11th Commemorative Garbage

National Collectors Mint looking for idiots
I was going to make this part of a list of horrible potential Internet purchases, but I’ve seen the commercial one too many times now, so it rates its own post. Besides, it’s not just hawked on the Internet, meaning there are enough assholes willing to purchase it that it’s [...]

Spam-a-lot

Spam filters rule OK.
I have a spam filter that grabs comments it thinks are spam and holds them for review before publishing them to my site.  Most are just ridiculous link heavy piles of crap. Some try to look like comments.  I just got one that was in the latter category: it was supposed to [...]
